Question
the spheres in both figures are the same distance from each other. the size of the sphere represents its mass. would figure a or figure b have a stronger gravitational force? both figures would have the same gravitational force. figure b figure a
Gravitational force depends on mass and distance (Newton's law: $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$). The problem states the distance between spheres is the same in both figures. Sphere size represents mass—Figure A has larger spheres (greater total mass) than Figure B. Since distance is equal, greater mass leads to stronger gravitational force.
